Chapter 1190: Pearl revived
Not far east of Dragon City, the dragon valley was bathing in the summer breeze. Many giant dragons were resting within. After Queen Zhi Shu’s dragon god essence purified them, they started to awaken from their violent nature and they recovered a bit of their sentience. Of course, this was what Zhi Shu said. Dragons were wild beasts and would also consume humans.
But, the moment the dragon rider’s strength reached a certain level they would undoubtedly be able to control dragons.
…
“Kong kong…”
Dragons roared and when I raised my head, I saw two player dragon riders- Li Mu and Wang Jian. Li Mu rode a muscular red dragon while Wang Jian rode a fierce blue dragon. These were the next two dragon riders since Lin Wan Er and I. Red dragon and blue dragons were three star god dragons so after getting the dragons, Li Mu and Wang Jian’s attack and Defence would greatly increase. Moreover, they had the ability to fly in the air. Their mobility greatly increased so their overall strength was totally different from before.
“Peng!”
Li Mu’s riding skills weren’t perfect yet so the red dragon had to use its claws to slow itself down. He held his sword and smiled, “Xiao Yao you are here too?”

I said, “En, how is the dragon-riding?”
“Haha, not bad. However, my red dragon’s hunger dropped to below 50% but it doesn’t want to eat what I feed it. So I rode it over to Queen Zhi Shu to see what is going on. Is its appetite bad?”
On the side, Wang Jian landed with the blue dragon. But the difference between Wang Jian and Li Mu was that Wang Jian was more careful and detailed. He didn’t pull the reins when he landed so the blue dragon landed much more nicely than the red dragon.
“Brother Xiao Yao you are here!”
I nodded, “En, I am just walking around.”
At that moment, Zhi Shu, Frost and Qing Luo walked out of the Dragon Hall. Zhi Shu frowned, “Oh why are there so many people? What is going on? Li Mu and Wang Jian why aren’t you two training how to fly, why did you come here?”
Li Mu rubbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, “Queen, my red dragon is hungry but it doesn’t want to touch what I feed it.”
“Oh?”
Zhi Shu walked forwards and covered the red dragon’s nose. She smiled, “This red dragon doesn’t like beef but you always feed it that. Li Mu you need to understand the blood contract and you would be able to know what the red dragon is thinking. Only then can you be one with the dragon.”
“Okay… Okay.” Li Mu listened.
Zhi Shu looked at Wang Jian and asked, “Wang Jian why did you bring the blue dragon over?”
Wang Jian said, “I came with Li Mu while also training my riding skills.”

“En.”
Zhi Shu smiled and then looked at me, “Master why did you come here?”
I was stunned and said, “Nothing to do so I just came to walk.”
“Okay, where is Mei’er?”
Before I said anything, Mei’er charged out of the blood contract barrier. She charged at her mother in her girl state and hugged her. Frost and Qing Luo all laughed. As Mei’er’s master, I couldn’t control her at all.
I felt ashamed. But Mei’er’s strength was not something that normal dragons could compare to so there were pros and cons.
…
Right at that moment, a bell rang. A week was up and Azure really started to promote new Hybrid Demon Lords–
“Ding!”
System Notification: Players please note, Hybrid Demon King Azure has awakened and he has promoted 7 high grade Hybrid Demons to Lords. They are– God Killing Zither Qin Ge, Hell Purple Thunder Pearl, Greed Yin Huo, The Judge, Devourer Sett, Hell Golden Dragon, Apocalypse Storm Leila. Players, please note, after getting their titles, their strength will greatly increase and they won’t be things that players can randomly challenge!
…
Originally, out of the Hybrid Demon Lords, only Azure, Sif, Dalun and Kate were left. Now with the new additions, the entire rankings had changed–
1. Blood Abyss Azure
2. God Killing Zither Qin Ge
3. Eternal Blade Sif
4. Hell Purple Thunder Pearl
5. Sky Blade Dalun
6. Greed Yin Huo
7. The Judge
8. The Devourer Sett
9. Hell Golden Dragon
10. Apocalypse Storm Leila
11. Windrider Kate
…
Dalun went from second to fifth and his strength was probably surpassed. The second was a boss called Qin Ge and I couldn’t read the introduction. However, what shocked me was the 4th ranked Boss, Hell Purple Thunder– Pearl?
Pearl?
My heart shook and I took two steps back. I rested on the Dragon Hall railing.
“Brother what happened?” Mei’er was connected to me and sensed my shock. She flew over to support me, “Brother what happened to you?”
I looked towards the north, “Pearl…. Pearl… Did Azure that bastard refine Pearl’s soul, that jerk… He isn’t going to let her rest?”
Li Mu consoled, “You don’t need to think like that, maybe it is just the same name? Pearl was Tian Ling City’s princess and her combat strength was just average. Even if she became a Hybrid Demon Lord she shouldn’t be in front of Dalun right?”
I panted and turned towards Frost, “Frost, you are a god so you can sense that power right? That Purple Thunder Pearl, is it Tian Ling City’s Pearl?”
Light flashed in her eyes and she said, “This… I can’t completely sense that but calm down. Let’s talk when we meet that Pearl in the future. You can relax, even if you meet Pearl, I can use the power of the gods to reshape her body. Since Azure can bring her from hell here, I can make her a human again.”
I nodded gratefully, “En, thank you Frost, if… If it is Pearl then I can’t do anything, I owe her!”
“En!”
I rested on the railing and took out the token, my heart surged with emotions. Did Pearl really become a Hybrid Demon Lord? From Frost’s reaction, it was possible. If I really met Pearl as an enemy, what should I do?
…
The system notification said that the Hybrid Demon Territory was about to refresh.
Who knew what Demon Mountain’s construction would be like. With Fire God Gaia, things should be smooth. But with the new 11 lords, Hybrid Demon Territory’s strength would have increased. If Demon Mountain headed in alone, he was just asking for trouble.
Wang Jian said, “Brother Xiao Yao, our scouts said that many Nine Heavens City players headed out from Nine Heavens City and many reached the Ice Ridge Mountain. They want to head through the gaps of Dragon City. It seems like Demon Mountain has sent troops, what should we do?”
I frowned and didn’t say anything.
Li Mu said, “Demon Mountain wants to invade Hybrid Demon Territory, no matter what I can’t stop him.”
I said, “Let him go, let him do what he wants. Anyways as long as he isn’t against China then that would be enough. Hybrid Demon Territory has new lords so they are much stronger. Just Dragon City alone is not enough. Demon Mountain is bringing Fire God Gaia over and that is a good thing. As long as they don’t disturb us, things would be fine. Allow them to go, if they kill our leveling players, send Furnace God Cavalries to kill them. Kill whoever attacks.”
“Good, I am good at at, let me do it!” Li Mu smiled.
Honestly, this fellow was a dragon rider. His movement speed was much faster than that of normal cavalry players. His ability to chase couldn’t be compared to so it was best if he led this mission.
…
Hybrid Demon Territory was going to undergo 10 hours of maintenance so it would be released the next morning. Li Mu and Wang Jian went to do their own things so I rode Mei’er back to Tian Ling City.
I came to the cemetery and found Pearl’s tomb.
The flowers danced in the wind and Pearl’s tomb was silent. A few guards army troops were there. When they saw me, they knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “The Executor!”
I nodded and told them not to be so polite. I stepped up to the worshipping platform.
At the center was a white jade statue. The worker crafted it based on what Pearl looked like. She stood there and it was as if I could see Pearl’s smile from when she was alive.
…
I pressed the sword and knelt on the ground. I looked at Pearl’s statue and said, “If you are really alive then come back and find us. You should be responsible for defending Tian Ling City, don’t let me do everything. If you are really alive then break free from Azure’s control and find yourself.”
The guards looked at one another.
I stood up and looked at the statue, “I will wait for you.”
I turned around and didn’t turn my head at all.
